Interesting question. I think there are a few things like showers and taps....possibly the odd toilet...but its certainly worth investigating

I checked an online store specialized in that area. 100 products and all are mechanical. Unless you count a plastic shower timer (3.50 USD), which already promises to save 400 USD/year.

This "smart shower meter" has a mobile app. About 70 USD. http://amphiro.com/

There are also a lot of different projects about watering plants, gardens, or agriculture. But it's still kind of hard to search in search engines, and have great content...
